Q: I've been with my bf for almost 2 years, and he makes me sooo happy. I lost my virginity to him, and he's my first love. I knew his previous girlfriend really well and she told me every detail about their relationship. They never had sex but they did other things... if you know what i mean... She was his first love, and i was the one who comforted him when they split up. But now we're together and i still get upset when i think about him with her. I know its natural to be like that with your bfs ex, but i cant help but cry when i think about him being in love with her, and although he says he doesnt still think about her i know he does.

Is anyone else going through this? or do you know any ways i can try to get her out of my head. It doesnt affect our relationship, but when i'm on my own it plays on my mind...

Thank You in Advance xx

I went through this same situation with my boyfriend of 3 years. It is completely normal.

But just try to take this into consideration, 'you always remember your first love and deep down you always love them.' You may not be IN love with them anymore but they will always hold a special place in your heart. It is a very difficult thing to deal with if you have never been in love and your partner has. The best thing to do is to try and understand that at one point he loved her but something came up and things didn't work out. Now he's with you and obviously thats where he wants to be or he wouldn't have spend 2 years with you.

I know its hard but just try and be understanding. I know it hurts but in the end he will respect that you at least try to understand things for him.

Hope I Helped.
